No joke threads in the Pit? Not even ones too offensive to post anywhere else? What’s the matter, **Lynn**? Have you caught my killjoy disease around when I have started to lose it? ---

I’d be interested in a little clarification at least. Are those jokes ok in MPSIMS, or should we avoid them totally? ---

I’d be interested in knowing what the hell you guys are talking about. ---

They were complaining jokes. And I’m complaining about how they got closed. ---

Dropzone, you are a big fat jerk. That’s not much of a flame, I know, but I’m not interested in being creative, I just wanted to let you know. [Here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=40580) is all the proof I need. I’m sorry you are so fucking stupid that you don’t understand what the Pit is for. If you want jokes, hang out in MPSIMS, or IMHO. Stay out of the Pit. Unless you want to get your ass flamed. Why are you acting like a newbie, or a troll? Do you need some attention in your meaningless, pathetic life? Well, there you got it. That’s 30 secs of time I’m never going to get back. Now go and scurry underneath the rock from whence you came. ---

That’s not much of a flame, I know, but I’m not interested in being creative, I just wanted to let you know.** A good flame is an accurate one and you nailed me. And I don’t mind getting flamed. Much. **Lynn** , can we close this thread? The thread that inspired it has dropped of the screen and the discussion here has moved where it belongs. If anybody else would like to flame me please open a new thread. But wait 'til I become a mod! You ain’t seen “arbitrary” yet!
